Supernova II

[@Robguitarjarvis]

I used to love my supernova but sold it, I regret that now, it’s a truly fantastically designed synth with an utterly great sound.The fact that the Ozric Tentacles use them speaks volumes as they are synth masters.

[@No_Nag]

I think that every one's so obsessed with synth's being analog in one way or another that they can't "diminish" them self to use VA's any more. I have some and they all sound great , mabe not like the fat analogs but they can still make the subwoofer rumble and make noises the analog just can dream of.

[@Robguitarjarvis]

No Nag Recordings spot on there, my Waldorf Q was also an outstanding VA synth, and both the supernova 2 and the Q had performance features most modern synths don’t even come close to and that’s not even mentioning sound quality.

[@AmeyahOfficialTV]

i really hope the DSP56300 Project will in the future emulate one of these. Damn still sounds massive.

[@johnsaunders6510]

A great demo. Thanks.

[@No_Nag]

Well, thank you!

[@brunodadivore9606]

Hi thanks, great. "It has Been"... means has been replaced by ?

[@No_Nag]

I'm currently using a Kawai K5000s. But I still have the Supernova :)

[@AndyVonal]

A great demo of why this was, is and will remain a great synth. Had mine for about 20 years and it's still going strong. I should use it more! On the down side, it drives me mad that I have press about 7 buttons just to put an LFO on an oscillator, though! I think there are 137 buttons on this damned thing! Ease of use? Well, yes but it comes with headaches even after all these years!

[@No_Nag]

Well it's more like when it wraps it self round your head rather than the other way around 😂

I'm sort of moving backwards on this: I started with a Circuit, and when I learned it used the Mininova synth engine I got a Mininova which I enjoy a lot. A big plus for me is that Novation does a good job with their documentation (are you listening Korg?), and the Supernova 2 documentation is over 200 pages long, so I will go through the SN 2 manual to see what got left out on the Mininova. Thanks a lot for creating this video, nice to follow the evolution to where we are today!

[@No_Nag]

I craved for this for years, but they wherejust to expensive so when the anaolge craze started and the prices dropped I finally got one and it's never going away... next up Novation for me is a Summit. They just the thing i'm on about now. Going backwards is a cool way of doin it. Did that with Ensoniq and have almost all of them...

[@chakko007]

I think the main thing they left out in the Mininova is the great sound of the Supernova... bit unfortunate, but, the Mininova just doesn't have that punch and character.

[@planetmue7165]

I'm on the look out for one of these in the UK

[@No_Nag]

Only one I could find is in Italy... And it's pricey!

[@planetmue7165]

@@No_Nag I will be patient, holefully!

[@garyturner5204]

Awesome demo of a highly under-rated polysynth!

[@No_Nag]

Thank you! I don't think it's underrated. It has a hype. But people have at some point started to diss VA synths and thier capabilities. It's a shame because these are great.

[@garyturner5204]

@@No_Nag I am so glad that I grabbed a Novation Supernova II Pro-X 48 voice when I found it. It took me like 6 months to finally find one available for sale on eBay. I just need to sit down and play with it! I also have the Nova desktop, I got it before I found the Supernova 2.

[@deauvillevrienden]

I love my SN2 but it takes so much space and rather heavy... a friend of mine had the rack module and wants to buy my keyversion (i still have a Nova) but i think i would miss the feel and the wow factor, even if i would take his SN2 rack module.

[@No_Nag]

I use it as my main controller, I really live the feel of the keyboard and I am so used to it.

[@mailbomber6952]

i would loop it with something intense,, blast the volume,, and mess with the knobs ferociously ,,, like live synthrave style,,, but i have always been a radical musician,,,,,

[@SoundFriendly]

After so many years still a fantastic synth to own and hard to find. Sadly the DAC chip is often a problem.

[@No_Nag]

Haven't had that problem with mine fortunatly. It is a great synth, I use it as my main controller to.

[@michaelh7972]

There are places that will replace the DAC chip for very little money.

[@LeadingMotive]

Luckily only the main mix outputs are affected, the other outputs will work fine.

[@czynthz9546]

hola desde Mexico...yo tengo los mios SN II rack y key son grandes muy grandes ....soy afortunado y ustedes tambien y si da problemas el chip DAC

[@No_Nag]

No problemas :)

[@beytullahkeskin1153]

Thanks...

[@ingoodmusic]

7:15 - phenomenal

[@michaelh7972]

The sound is clipping because the level was set too high. It sounds much better when the volume is reduced. I have one and love it!

[@fortheloveofnoise]

I love the synth, and the channel name. (I get nagged too much in my daily life)

[@No_Nag]

The channel name's from 2012 when i broke up with my girlfriend. I moved in to my new appartment and started calling it "No Nag Cribb" and it has stayed on and moved on with me to other stuff :D

[@Hightreewalker]

Why do most demo's i hear from the Nova synths literally hurt my ears?? i own the Mininova and it's nice but only with the filter way down. I am done with the squeeky duck sounds it is good at. Can anyone tell what's wrong with this or is it just me. Yes it's just me of course.

[@No_Nag]

Turn the volume down a notch mabe 😉 I think the filter are pretty good for being digital. All selfresonating squelch your ears off when dialed to the extreme. 🤔
